Once again. If you’re traveling to a developing country and someone tries to steal from you, what do you do? YOU LET IT HAPPEN.

Why? Because for them your phone is worth more than your life.

You let it happen, don’t look at their faces, don’t scream, don’t run, don’t move your hands, don’t try to bargain, don’t chase after them, don’t look in their direction once they are gone…

You come from a rich country, you’ll recover financially, just let it happen and move on. It’s crazy how rich people come to these countries thinking they have some kind of imaginary bulletproof shield.

I saw a thieve kill a teenage girl because she resisted for a couple of seconds. Bam, stabbed in the neck, she dropped after 3 seconds.

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT. You win… THIS TIME. But I’m keeping my eye on you.

And even worse “Off of Officers”. That just sounds ridiculous.

Ah ok, you know it’s hard catching sarcasm when the internet is full of crazy people. That’s why /s exists. Specially hard when this is an actual card played by pro-israel jews.

Ah yeha, agreed. If they get physical, fuck that. I’m sure that’s just like 1% or less of vegans. We can’t judge a whole group for the actions of a few.

I’m Jewish, so I can say it though?

Do you think pointing out a genocide is like the N word or something?

I do think they are annoying but a necessary type of annoying that will help humanity progress. The same type of annoying as people who claimed women had rights and African Americans were not inferior.

Humans treat this planet like shit, we have zero respect for living beings and the ecosystems. Anyone who gets angry if someone calls them out for supporting animal abuse is just immature and selfish. Like they’ll just deny they are doing something wrong.

I’ll probably never stop eating meat until stuff like Beyond Meat becomes mainstream. But I won’t pretend I’m not a straight up asshole to these animals for supporting their torture and murder. The times I’ve been called out I’ve embraced it instead of denying the obvious.

In 150 years humans will look back in shame at what we did to those animals.

Not the onion?.. hm… That’s something The onion would say…

Why are you calling him Nazi… Damn, I was gone from Lemmy for 4 months and came back to this childish shit. I’m out again.

I am the bottom sheet in my bed. I feel you, I can barely manage myself.

I always imagine Kelly

This made me remember PinkMeth. That place was insane.

— “I almost shot the bitch in her face, stop fucking with my doorbell”

… …

— “Guys, I just said that to warn about dangerous people out there. There’s bad people out there who grab their gun when someone rings their bells. Not me, I’m an angel”.

These are not good man, just being honest. Pretty cringe, even.

Stakes are real, but still, don’t use children for politics.

People understand what a kid is without having to expose them to the world as trans at such a young age.

For me the problem is that parents can sabotage their questioning period by steering them. Just let them be. For me, this mother taking her kids to something political like this is steering and not letting the kid figure things out themselves.

So, the kid read the newspaper and asked to go there?

It’s a kid. Do you think a kid knows what transexual means without an adult telling them? Or what a politician or laws mean? Or that the politician was going to be there? Did the kid tell the mother what to say?

Please explain to me how this could have happened, a likely scenario, in which the mother didn’t push this on the child.

Yeha, but how do you know if it is something permanent or not for the kid? You don’t know, at that age they are fluid in these regards. So why frame them as “transexual” if they like having long hair or play with “girly” toys.

When I was a kid I thought I was a girl, I would always refer to myself with femenine terminology until I was like 7. If my parents pushed the idea of being transexual instead of letting me figure out that I was actually a boy who likes girls, I’d probably be very fucked up today.

I’m really against telling a kid what they are or allowing them to change their bodies permanently. Once they turn 18, they’ll be able to make these choices with a better understanding and perspective. A 10yo kid doesn’t know shit, they barely understand the world (in general), that’s why they can’t make choices like having sex with adults, getting pregnant, having tattoos, consuming drugs or alcohol, gambling… the list goes on. They aren’t mentally prepared for these decisions.

I understand that it is important to preach love to others, but don’t solidify these ideas in your kids just to make a political point. They may feel later that they can’t change because they became the face of this issue.

Don’t tell a kid what they are, just tell them they can be whatever they want to be, but permanent choices only at 18, once they have more perspective and understanding. That’s it.
